California: Bixby Creek Bridge

As a huge fan of California, one of my favorite places is Big Sur. Mountains and the Pacific are soothing sights and sounds for me. A beautiful icon of the are is the Bixby Creek Bridge, one of the most iconic photographed bridges in California. This bridge sits just south of Carmel, in Monterey County, as part of US 1. Prior to the bridge being built in 1932, residents of the area were practically cut off during the winter months, due to roads being impassable. It is a single-span, concrete arch bridge, that is over 700 feet long, and over 260 feet high. The bridge and surrounding area also served as a filming location for the HBO series, Big Little Lies.
